We had earlier reported about veteran TS Suresh Babu helming a new film titled DNA. Billed as a forensic-based biological thriller, the film has Ashkar Saudan playing the lead role. Raai Laxmi is essaying a crucial role of a cop in the film. The actor, recently seen in a dance number in Ajay Devgn's Bholaa, hopes to shed her glam image by sporting a bare minimum make-up look for her character of an IPS officer.

Expressing her delight in getting a solid role in a Malayalam film after a long gap, Laxmi said, "As an actor, I have made my mark with South Indian film industry, especially Malayalam films, and they say if you work in Malayalam film industry, you are a certified actor, and that's a great validation since they are known for content."

Adding more on her role, the actor said, "I am happy that after almost two years, I am fortunate to be a part of an interesting project like DNA and portray the role of a cop. It has turned out to be a challenging one considering I have to portray the right mannerisms while also making it look real on screen."
